Inspector Sheila suspended from duties, says Bukit Aman


KUALA LUMPUR: A probationary police inspector who went viral on social media recently has been interdicted from performing her duties pending legal procedures against her.

Bukit Aman Integrity and Standard Compliance Department director Datuk Seri Azri Ahmad said the interdiction order was issued after the inspector, Sheila Sharon Steven Kumar, 35, was charged at the Selayang Magistrate's Court here today (June 26) with three criminal charges under Section 506 and 509 of the Penal Code.

"The interdiction order was issued under Section 78 of the Police Act 1967.

"As such, all powers, privileges and benefits vested in her as a police officer are interdicted pending decision by the disciplinary authority,” he said in a statement here.

Earlier, it was reported that Insp Sheila was charged in separate Magistrate's Courts in Selayang with insulting the modesty of two men, including a police lance corporal, and criminally intimidating an elderly woman.

The police inspector, however, pleaded not guilty to all three charges.

She was allowed bail of RM5,000 with one surety on all three charges and both courts set Aug 7 for mention. - Bernama
